This is a book of two halves. The Ingredients Book arms you with everything you need to know about the basic building blocks of any recipe. LEON chooses its ingredients above all for their flavour & healthiness but also with a view to the world we live in so that such shark-infested waters as sustainable fish are tackled & easy to navigate. LEON's top 250 fruits vegetables fish meats dairy & store cupboard ingredients are all given their own entries. Nutrition a bit of history flavour & the best way to get the most out of them are all covered seasoned with a fair amount of random miscellany. The second half is The Recipe Book where you can put your newly found knowledge of ingredients to great use with over 140 recipes: some are familiar favourites taken from LEON's menus such as the Original Superfood Salad Moroccan Meatballs or Magic Mackerel Couscous & for LEON Lovers everywhere at last a recipe for the coveted LEON Better Brownie. Plus there are some recipes from the founders their friends & those who helped make LEON what it is today like Fred's Millennium Octopus & David Dimbleby's Spanish Omelette. LEON's food message is a simple & honest one
- cook & eat with the best ingredients available & don't forget the naughty bits that are so necessary for a fully-rounded life.
